Restorative Dentistry

One plan. A whole new bite.

When years of decay, wear, or missing teeth have added up across your whole mouth, full mouth reconstruction rebuilds function and appearance with one coordinated plan instead of one problem at a time.

Overview

Rebuilding a mouth that's broken down over time.

Full mouth reconstruction isn't one procedure, it's a coordinated combination of the right ones, planned together instead of handled tooth by tooth as problems come up. That might mean crowns on some teeth, a bridge or implants where teeth are missing, and adjustments to how your upper and lower jaw meet, all mapped out in a single treatment plan.

The goal isn't just fixing what hurts right now. It's restoring a bite that works the way it should, protecting the teeth that remain, and giving you a mouth you're not managing one crisis at a time.

Is It Right For You?

When a full plan makes more sense than piecemeal fixes.

Full mouth reconstruction is for patients whose dental problems have compounded across many teeth, not for a single cavity or one damaged tooth. At your exam we'll map out exactly what's involved and what order it needs to happen in.

Multiple Failing Teeth

When several teeth need crowns, root canals, or extraction around the same time, treating them together is more efficient than one at a time.

Years of Untreated Wear or Decay

Teeth worn flat by grinding, or decayed from years of neglect, often need a full rebuild of height and function, not isolated fixes.

Multiple Missing Teeth

Several gaps across the mouth are usually better solved with one bridge, implant, or denture plan than a series of unrelated visits.

Bite That's Collapsed Over Time

Lost back teeth can let your bite close down, changing your jaw position and facial appearance, reconstruction restores proper height.

Chronic Jaw Pain or Headaches

An uneven or collapsed bite can contribute to jaw strain. Rebuilding the bite in proper alignment can relieve that pressure.

Combination of Cosmetic & Functional Issues

When appearance and function have both broken down together, a single plan addresses both instead of treating them separately.

The Process

From full evaluation to finished bite.

01

Comprehensive Evaluation

Our team leads a full exam, 3D imaging, bite analysis, and gum and bone assessment, to understand every tooth's condition and how they all work together.

02

Treatment Planning

We map out every procedure needed, in what order, and over what timeline. You'll see the full plan and cost before anything begins, not one surprise at a time.

03

Staged Treatment

Work is sequenced logically, extractions and grafts first if needed, then implants or root canals, then crowns and bridges once the foundation is ready. Sedation is available throughout.

04

Final Restoration & Bite Adjustment

Once every piece is in place, we fine-tune your bite so everything meets evenly, then follow up to make sure it's holding up the way it should.

Every tooth. One coordinated plan.

Full Mouth Reconstruction vs. Piecemeal Repairs

Why we plan it all together instead of tooth by tooth.

Fixing one tooth at a time as it fails feels less overwhelming in the moment, but it tends to cost more overall and leaves your bite unbalanced between visits. A coordinated plan treats the mouth as one system.

Common Questions

What patients ask about full mouth reconstruction.

This is a bigger decision than a single procedure, so we take the time to walk through it. Book a consultation at any of our three offices to get your full picture.

Book Consultation
How long does full mouth reconstruction take?

It depends on how many procedures are involved and whether any of them, like implants or bone grafts, need healing time between stages. Most plans run anywhere from six months to a year and a half, and we'll give you a realistic timeline specific to your case at your consultation.

Will I be without teeth during treatment?

No. We sequence treatment so you always have functional teeth to eat and speak with, using temporary restorations wherever a permanent one isn't ready yet. You won't be left without a working bite at any stage.

Is this the same as a smile makeover?

They can overlap, but full mouth reconstruction is primarily about restoring function, a healthy, working bite and stable teeth. A smile makeover is more cosmetically focused. Many reconstruction plans improve appearance significantly as a byproduct of fixing function.

Do I need to be sedated for all of it?

Not necessarily, and it depends on the specific procedures on a given day. We offer sedation for any appointment where you'd like it, and we'll talk through options at each stage so you're comfortable throughout.

How is this different from just fixing teeth as they break?

Fixing teeth reactively usually costs more over time and can leave your bite imbalanced between fixes, since each repair is planned in isolation. A full reconstruction plan treats every tooth as part of one system from the start, which tends to produce a more stable, longer-lasting result.

What if I can't afford the full plan at once?

We can stage treatment in a way that fits your budget and offer CareCredit and Lending Club financing to spread payments out. We'll build a plan that balances what's urgent against what can reasonably wait.
